The bjam is stripped while compiling via gcc options '-s'. There are 
three build types defined in build.jam:

...
     [ opt --release : [ opt --symbols : -g : -s ] -O3 ]
     [ opt --debug : -g -O0 -fno-inline ]
     [ opt --profile : -O3 -g -pg ]
...

Build & install "debug" version would provide unstripped bjam for 
further stripping. I have sent V2 patch:

[OE-core] [PATCH v2] bjam-native: build and install bjam.debug
